Course information Application and completion process
Accreditation is the key element in the move towards creating the new profession of ‘partnership broker’. This is the way we believe high standards can be set and maintained in this field. For this reason, we reserve the right to:
-
Refuse to accept an individual on to the course if we are not confident of their brokering potential or integrity.
-
Fail those candidates, the examiner(s) deem are falling short of the standards required.
-
Refuse to grant accreditation to those who pass the course but refuse to sign the Good Brokering Practice Principles.
-
Withdraw accreditation if it comes to our attention that an accredited broker is operating outside of these principles and / or has had a significant complaint made (and upheld) against them as a professional broker.

Cancellation policy
Once an application has been accepted, the fee has been paid and the mentor has been appointed, it will not be possible to refund any of the course fee in the event of the candidate deciding not to continue with the programme. Only in exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of the PBA Director for Accreditation, a refund of part of the fee may be possible. The candidate may, however, ask for some rescheduling of the time frame if they can provide a good reason why this should be considered and subject to their mentor being able to accommodate the new deadlines. Where this involves reworking mentor arrangements and/or a significant delay in submissions and / or extra time from the mentor, an additional fee may be charged.
